I've been doing a little digging and haven't been able to find many pics of large congicus in captivity. I know someone has a congi in this forum that's larger than 20". So who on here has the largest Congicus?
 
Hao Hao had Godzilla that was a beast of a congi... I cant remember for sure size but I think around 22-23" when it passed.

As to current record holder for largest congi.... not sure on that one
 
On the topic of XXL Congicus in the U.S. Toyin imported this beast pre 2007 and looks to be about 27-28". Too bad it was DOA.

Most congicus specimens over 22", 23", 24"+ are overseas, i.e. Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, etc. Here's a taxidermy of a 35" specimen imported to Japan . Which did not make the trip either. Customer decided to have it stuffed afterwards.

That’s not a misfire it’s the turbo clapping because it’s spooling faster than the speed of light :p:p:D

Ps. I’ve derailed my own thread haha
 
Have you checked out this thread? Quite a few 20"+ specimens in this thread.

Godzilla passed at 25".
As for the largest congi on MFK, Ricky's (infblue) Congicus or YuChia's (CDM) Congicus or R1_Ridah's (Joey) old Congicus. All 3 were 27"+ a few years ago, the ones still alive should be pushing 30" by now.

Here is my old Godzilla at 25":
